CHILI COOK OFF!!! Field TRIP!!!

First things first:
NO school Monday or FRIDAY next week (MLK day Monday and records day Friday).
Secondly:
Chili cook off is only a little over a week away! The date is WEDNESDAY January 28th, write it down!
We need a few excellent chefs (well, and courageous!) to whip up some pots of chili to represent the Kindergarten classes!
Please contact your teacher if you can do this time honored task! The chili can be of any variety, hot, mild, chicken, green, whatever you are good at making!
Also, we have a theme for our K gift basket and of course I can't remember if it is movies or books!! Funny huh?
Anyhow, don't forget, we'll need items for the basket too!

Last but certainly not least:
Field trip information WAY in advance!
During the month of May (around 16 weeks away) we go on a field trip to a great place called Northfork Outback. It is a social studies field trip and we have not set a date, nor decided which activities we will do this year. We do however , have an estimated cost and wanted to give you the heads up so that if you need to start setting aside money on a weekly basis, you can.
The trip will cost *around* $11.00. It may be only $10, I'm going to try to get $1 per child trimmed off with the owner of the place. The cost INCLUDES lunch. The field trip experience is in Webberville, so it's a bit of a bus ride.

Parents may attend, however the cost is $6.50 per parent, which also includes lunch. You will most likely have to drive yourself though, as the bus space is limited!
